WARRIOR
"So, I chop things up and we win? I think I can handle that."
Armed with steel, guts, and occasionally their allies, the Warrior, as a class, personifies the scrapper at the heart of the battlefield - from mercenary cadet to former soldier, the Warrior specializes in bringing chaos and disaster to the enemy.
The Warrior is a physical attacker class that specializes in speed and power, with a wealth of tricky, battle-shaping effects. Though many of their abilities have a brutish flavor, the Warrior is really the best example of a swordsman's finesse - harassing enemies with Sneak Attack and Delay Buster, coordinating attacks with Launch and Blindside, and turning advantage into unstoppable victory with the -siphon abilities. The guaranteed delay offered by the Ruinga spell might make it worth your while to know some magic, too.
